What is the name of Daisy Buchanan's daughter?

Daisy Buchanan’s daughter is named Pammy in The Great Gatsby. Pammy is Daisy’s child with Tom Buchanan, and she appears only briefly in the novel, making her easy to overlook beside the story’s more prominent characters. Daisy and Tom live in East Egg, the wealthy “old money” community across the bay from Gatsby’s West Egg estate.

Pammy’s brief appearance helps reveal the Buchanan family’s privileged but emotionally detached world. When Daisy introduces her daughter, the moment contributes to the tension between Daisy’s established family life with Tom and her renewed romance with Jay Gatsby. Gatsby is fascinated by Daisy’s past and wants to recover their former relationship, but Pammy is evidence that Daisy’s life has continued without him.

The daughter is sometimes mistakenly assigned the names of other female characters, such as Jordan Baker, Myrtle Wilson, or Catherine. Those women have separate roles: Jordan is Daisy’s friend, Myrtle is Tom’s mistress, and Catherine is Myrtle’s sister. Pammy is not a major participant in the plot, but her presence clarifies Daisy’s marriage, motherhood, and ties to Tom.
